System Startup
1. Remove all packing materials, and place the computer on a stable surface.
2. Securely attach any peripherals you want to use with the notebook (e.g. keyboard and mouse) to their ports.
3. Attach the AC/DC adapter to the DC-In jack on the right of the computer, then plug the AC power cord into an
outlet, and connect the AC power cord to the AC/DC adapter (make sure you use the adapter when first
setting up the computer
, as to safeguard the computer during shipping the battery will be locked to not power
the system until first connected to the AC/DC adapter).
4. Use one hand to raise the lid/LCD to a comfortable viewing angle (it is preferable not to exceed 135 degrees); use
the other hand (as illustrated in
Figure 1 - 1
below) to support the base of the computer (Note: Never lift the
computer by the lid/LCD).
